I have chosen to perfect temperence. It is eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation. I understand this as eating when you're not even hungry. It is eating just to eat because you have nothing else to do. Also drinking for a reasonable cause not just to get a buzz. I have chosen this because I am always eating when I am bored and have nothing to do. As well as, eating a large amount at one time. I plan to cut back on the amount I partake. I also plan on reducing the kinds of bad foods that enter my body. I don't drink, so this virtue is mainly on eat not to dullness.
I will perfect this virtue by watching what I eat and when I eat. I am not going to snack during the day as well as before bed or late at night. I will try to be more active so I don't become bored and sit around and eat. During lunch at school I will only eat certain foods. I will control how much food I intend on purchasing to eat. My mind sometimes takes over my stomach so I have to stay busy and keep my mind off of food. I will be more active until I feel I have perfected this virtue.
Update #1
My first day of temperance was not the best day of my life but I did meet a few requirements. I did not eat any snacks before bed. I did eat more than I would've liked, but oh well.
Update #2
Another update on my pursuit of perfecting temperance. I kept my snacking to a minimal but the amount I ate was more than I
would like. I have started eating more than I desire but I keep watching what I eat. My food choices are not the best this week but I play three sports so I need to eat more calories than everyone else.
Tyler,
You certainly do need more calories if you're playing so many sports. How else could you practice temperance besides in just your eating habits?

This past week I have been struggling to stay true to my virtue. I am doing well, but it is getting hard. I will try even harder to stay on task.
Update #4
The past couple days have been hard for me. My mom makes a lot of good meals at home and I can't stop myself. Ok, so I over exaggerated but I have trouble keeping my virtue inmind around food. I will try even harder to perfect temperance.
